creating button in another program...

[choochoo]

Hey everyone,


What I need is just some place to start off on learning how to put a button i created, or a form, or whatever, in another programs window.
I can't really think of a specific example...
Maybe something like the Winamp plugin for Bersirc IRC Client, if anyone has ever tried/used that. Any links/help will be much appreciated, as usual :). Thanks.

But what if they don't have that many buttons?

You mean like how Yahoo! or MSN integrates itself into Internet Explorer? If so, these type of applications are built in such a way to support this (e.g. by adding entries to the registry in a specific path).

What application are you trying to integrate your button into? Keep in mind, it's not a good idea to "add to a program" if it's not meant to do so.

cyrillic: i didn't mean it had to have that many buttons.
megatron: no, i didn't mean like that. I meant more of a plugin sort of thing. Don't worry :), I've figure it out, except, there are a few bugs :\

But it would sure be nice to have that many, wouldn't it?
